I had gone to a work conference in Louisiana. While there, the entertainment one night was the Mardi Gras float Museum with dinner afterwards. At dinner, the entertainment was tarot readings and I was the first one there in line. From that time until entering Bob’s class in January, 2017, I was troubled, depressed, found little pleasure in work and was having problems completing daily tasks that before I took pleasure in and was thankful to do. My devotions were not on track and something was off.
​
January was the Daniel Fast and I was looking forward to that and finding answers for “getting back on track with what the Lord had in store and daily routines.”  In my head I was thinking “menopause is horrible.” Could that be it? My husband, Allen, and I were looking for a Sunday School class for the spring session. Bob Hammond was teaching how scriptures come alive, studying God’s Word, and application to daily walk. That sounded like what I needed.  

The first class we attended we learned very quickly about Bob’s gift of deliverance and casting out demons. What?! In this day and age? Not thought about that. There were 2 other ladies in the class that shared their personal experiences of deliverance. I was searching for ways to be closer to Christ and all of a sudden I did not want anything to separate me which is exactly what I had been feeling and experiencing. Separation. Something was causing me to be divided and that would not work.  

I shared about the tarot cards, and I knew that was wrong. I asked for forgiveness and prayer. I remember feeling so tired and uncertain of any change at first. On the way home I kept praying and felt pain in my temple then my head. I did not stop till I entered the house and grabbed Allen and told him what was happening and he continued to pray and call on the name of Jesus placing his hands on my head. I was coughing and crying at the same time. I remembered Bob said in the name of Jesus casting out anything that was there, had to come out, to leave the house and never return: my physical being, my family, and the house, go away IN THE NAME OF JESUS.  

Wow! Thank you Lord for forgiveness and renewal. Evidencing God’s mercies back at work and at home. I have changed, grown, made mistakes, learned from mistakes, had the privilege of being on deliverance team 3 times and thankful to share God is great and rich in mercy and love.
